   Check out BLISS.  It's not without its flaws -- I consider its extreme
   typelessness a botch -- but it has such a complete set of well thought
   out control constructs that you don't miss the goto at all.  (BLISS has
   no goto.)

Modula-2 doesn't have a GOTO either. It has LOOP ... EXIT ... END.
